Pros

1.The drama! You get to go home and discuss the drama, the gossip, the fights, the dysfunction! 2. Meeting great clients and candidates 3. Quitting or getting fired. Walking out knowing you'll never have to work there again.

Cons

1.The drama! You get to go home and discuss the drama, the gossip, the fights, the dysfunction! 2. Being set up to compete with your peers if you want to be successful-The first thing they tell you is to run your co-workers job orders and call their clients to see if you can work on that job, too. 3. Indiscreet management-Sadly, those who are getting fired are the last to know because the management has told everyone except the person who is getting fired. Be careful what you share to regional leadership. When she smack talks others to you, she smack talks you to others. 4. The destruction of your confidence and self-esteem-You can be a top producer and still never have it be good enough. 5. Being held to the "back when I worked in this office" stories. That was 14 years ago. You have no frame of reference for what it is like to work in an office anymore. You are so disconnected because you can't bother to spend time with your producers to know how much the staffing business has changed. 6. They love the "Robert Half Look" -Meaning, you are attractive, dress nicely, nod and smile when senior management drops their outdated nuggets of advice and you absolutely treat senior management like the sun rises and sets on them.
